Origin and history

The tomb of Antoine Chrysostom Quatremère de Quincy, located in Division 7 of the Montparnasse cemetery in Paris (14th arrondissement), is a 19th century burial. It was designed by architect Eugene Godeboeuf and sculptor Christophe François Armand Toussaint. This funerary monument, inscribed as a Historical Monument by order of 21 July 2025, is distinguished by its entire protected, including parcel 42 of the cadastre section AJ.

The tomb is part of a series of historic monuments in the cemetery, alongside other notable burials such as the cenotaph of Charles Baudelaire or the tombs of the Constant-Dufeux and Dumont d'Urville families. These associations underline the heritage importance of the site, reflecting the desire to preserve important funeral works in Parisian history.

The location of the tomb, although specified by administrative coordinates (3 Edgar-Quinet Boulevard), is assessed as having a 'passable' accuracy (note 5/10). Owned in the commune of Paris, this monument illustrates the 19th century funerary art, when Parisian cemeteries become places of memory and artistic expression, especially under the influence of the Haussmannian urban transformations.
